The picking pattern stays the same, but the chords change in this pattern: E -> Em -> F#m7 -> F# -> B -> repeat

using these chord forms:

 E Em F#m F# B

E|-0--0--0---0---0--

B|-5--5--7---7---7--

G|-4--4--6---6---8--

D|-6--5--7---8---9--

How to read:

 --chord: what I believe the chord is, in guitar notation.  --bass: what I feel is the bass note. Note: this note may not  be in the chord! It may be a passing tone to another  chord. So C/B means a C chord with a B in the bass.  --strings: just about the whole song can be played on the  E, D, G, and B strings, so I have included the frets.

Full lyrics:

Passing through the corridor I came upon an aging knight Who leaned against the wall in gnarly armor

He was on his way to see the king

Wilson

Wilson

Wilson

He led me through the streets of Prussia talking

As he tried to crush a bug that scurried underneath his bootheel He said there was a place where we should go

So he lead me through the forest to the edge of a lagoon by which We wandered 'til we reached a bubbly spring

The knight grew very quiet as we stood there

Then he lifted up his visor and he turned to me and he began to sing chorus:

He said I come from the land of darkness

I said I come from the land of doom

He said I come from the land of Gamehendge

From the land of the big baboon

But I'm never never going back there

And I couldn't if I tried

'Cause I come from the land of Lizards

And the Lizards they have died

And the Lizards they have died

And the Lizards they have died

And the Lizards they have ...

He told me that the Lizards were a race of people practically extinct From doing things smart people don't do

He said that he was once a Lizard too

His name was Rutherford the Brave and he was on a quest to save His people from the fate that lay before them.

Their clumsy end was perilously near

The Lizards would be saved, he said, if they could be enlightened By the writings of the Helping Friendly Book

In all of Prussia only one existed

And Wilson had declared that any person who possessed it was a crook [chorus]

The Helping Friendly Book, it seemed, possessed the ancient secrets Of eternal joy and never-ending splendor

The trick was to surrender to the flow

We walked along beneath the moon

He lead us through the bush 'till soon

We saw before our eyes a raging river

He said that we could swim it if we tried

And saying this the knight dove in forgetting that his suit of arms Would surely weigh him down and so he sunk

And as his body disappeared before me

I bowed my head in silence and remembered all thoughts that he had thunk [chorus]

Repeat Verse and chorus twice more, ending the chorus the second time with the following passage in place of the "died!" in the first

"and the lizards they have died!" lyric

CHORUS III: Whoa whoa whoa...

 C: G F G F G F...

Piano solo II: (this part comes after the chorus, but instead of playing that final C, play the first chord of the part below and continue)

PIANO SOLO: WHOAAA

 C: G F G F Abmaj7 Gm7 Bbmaj7 Am7

 B: G F G F Ab G Bb A

This is what Trey plays towards the last half of Page's piano solo, right into the last "whoa, whoa, whoa, etc."

This part culminates by playing an Am instead of the Am7, then playing a D > Dsus4 chord figure 4 times, which leads back into the G F figure as in CHORUS III. End the CHORUS III this time with the staccato C chord, followed by 16th-note bass C notes until the guitar melody enters. The first time through up until the second ending, only the bass notes of the indicated chords should be played. Refer to the VERSE section above for the proper notes...

then repeat the entire outro twice more. The second time the outro is repeated, raise the guitar melody up one octave, and instead of

going to the 2nd ending of the repeat, go back into the G F figure as in CHORUS III. End the CHORUS III this time with the staccato C

chord. That's it!
